Last weekend there was a backlog of autopkgtests and I wanted to give a brief explanation of what happened and how it has been worked around.
All of the kinetic amd64 instances that we were launching for running the autopkgtests were booting slowly due to encountering a hung task timeout with the virtio_rng module[1]. This ended up causing tests to fail early in the process and repeatedly. We worked around the issue by building images which no longer load the virtio_rng module while the kernel team is investigating the issue. Additionally, I reran all the autopkgtest where the version of the package being tested was unknown[2] to clean up any false positives. Until the kernel bug is resolved, which I've already tested a fix for, its possible autopkgtest may fail due to the virtio_rng module not being loaded.
